FROM INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND 'QUEEN OF THE UNDEAD', ANNE RICE

The Vampire Chronicles continue with a riveting, rich saga – part adventure, part fairy tale – of Prince Lestat and the story of how he came to rule the vampire world

From his ancestral chateau high up in the mountains of France, Prince Lestat grapples to instil a new ideology of peace and harmony among the blood-drinking community.

Accustomed to welcoming the Undead from far and wide, one night he awakes to news of a ruthless attack by a group of maverick vampires.

After fleeing to investigate the terror, Lestat learns of several new enemies who are intent on disrupting the harmony he tries so hard to maintain. But is Lestat strong enough to take on such evil alone or will sacrifices have to be made?

Will his cry for peace be heard in a world riddled with violence?

A Tale

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 November 2018

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed the book and managed to read it all in one day. I felt it was very much a "tale," not necessarily as full and detailed as any of the previous novels in the series, and possibly more interesting for long-term fans, or those who have read 'Prince Lestat' and 'Realms of Atlantis' already. I wouldn't start with this one if you're new to the series, but it's a good add-on.

Good to know what the Brat Prince and his courtiers are up to, and interesting to see more insights into their system of government, and how they hope to bring the vampire 'tribe' together in the modern age, with an abundance of wealth, compassion, justice, and a leader who finds mesmeric beauty in all walks of life.

I always respect and appreciate Anne Rice's work, as she experiments with ideas, perhaps beginning with a line or an event, without knowing exactly how it's going to pan out. It is a joy to read this discovery, as much as I imagine it would have been to write it.

That said, there were a few things that niggled me. Firstly, the character of Rhoshamandes: he is quite a perplexing mystery, and I can't seem to get a grasp on his motives. If he has a split personality, I'm surprised that wasn't made more of a feature. I'm really not sure what to make of him; there seem so many loose ends and conflicting theories. But, such is life on occasion, and I'm sure the afterlife is no different, in having its share of frustrating enigmas? Secondly, if vampire science is now so highly evolved, why aren't certain 'deaths' able to be verified? Thirdly, what has happened to poor Pandora? She is barely a shadow of her former self (it's kind of depressing). There are so many new characters now - which is lovely - but means one is left craving for more than an outline of each of them, and likewise, it's hard to hear the more familiar characters 'thinking,' which was what I loved so much about past Chronicles. But. Perhaps this is yet to come. I did, however, enjoy the focus on Armand, and Gregory.

The writing style has changed a lot, generally becoming less descriptive and more chatty, which may or may not work for you. I've read all of the main books (excluding the ones with the Mayfair witches, and Vittorio) and was impressed by the predecessor to this one; 'Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis,' and this one is ok. Things happen and there is dancing throughout. There are some dark moments, but it is not a tale of woe. In one respect, one wonders whether reading about characters pushing through a life of struggle, and trying to maintain a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel, may feel more rewarding, and like it has more substance, but, I think it's equally bold to write about characters who, on the surface, have all the wealth and popularity they desire, and where do they go next? What about when the old dark starts to creep in? What are the responsibilities of someone who doesn't need to fight to survive? Such are the challenges of the new Lestat.

The book gives a flicker of a promising new direction if you look out for it. It also contains philosophies one could read more deeply into, but on the whole they are referenced so delicately, the story is a very easy read, with some lovely visuals to finish it off. I've only given it 3 stars, as it was a bit predictable, and not my favourite of the series, but I'm glad to have been brought into the vampire world once again.

Waited eagerly for this book and wasn't disappointed. Yes it was quite short and just hope Anne Rice continues on with more. Like most fans I have come to be very invested in all the characters and want more of their adventures. I've had to start reading the whole series right from the beginning again !

No spoilers .... How does Anne Rice grow Lestat and his beloved tribe from book to book so strongly? I adored her brat prince hero from her 2nd vc book and have cared more and more for him book after, sometimes obscure, book. I love him even more at the end of book 13. Anne brings us anguish and triumph and love in common. Thank you beloved author!

Five stars because I love Lestat but much too short I thought. My heart broke and I'm still weeping as there's no more to read. Fans will love it
